There was a kid at our school who was always referred to as n*gger and racially taunted despite being white and English. I met him later in life and he was a brick shithouse of a marine. He was also a gentleman and didn't rip my face off. Ah the 70s.

I watched the Dam Busters yesterday (there was nowt else on).
Was amusing that after Clarkson got hauled over the coals for not saying the N-word they must have said it 50 times during the film. I was half expecting the politically correct brigade to have tampered with it (as they did in the 90s).
